ok so im here on stars and have been grinding this out for about 40 minutes now. the blinds are up to 30 and 60. started with 1500 have been playin fairly tight and raising in position with limpers with sc or KJo or better. (this is of course with pots limped into already or min raises from loose players). ( SC are 78 or better.) im up to 1725. problem im havin is im card dead and even though i may have seen around 24 percent of flops and raised about 12 percent. most of the time if its limped all the way around i have great odds so i call small blind. we are fixing to take the break and need some pointers here im running really bad with the cards and often with ak when i do raise another tight player that has limped pushes all in. any advice on how to get my chipstack up before the second break. i would attempt steals but the blinds are still to small. that and im waiting for all the maniacs to bust out or at least most of them. any advice would be appreciated. im fixing to go to afghanastan in a few weeks so i really really wanna take one of these to the final table at least just to say i did it. thanks guys and i love this forum should have joined before i started.
